- *  used by the "tiffany" incremental packages download stuff. It differs from
- *  "ed" insofar that it is way more restricted (and therefore secure).
- *  The currently supported ed commands are "<em>c</em>hange", "<em>a</em>dd" and
- *  "<em>d</em>elete" (diff doesn't output any other).
- *  Additionally the records must be reverse sorted by line number and
- *  may not overlap (diff *seems* to produce this kind of output).
